Why Sakurada Kenshin matters to the lineup
Sakurada Kenshin entered the group with a different amount and kind of experience than the other six members. That unevenness is part of CLOSE YOUR EYES’ appeal. The lineup joins veterans, survival-show returnees, trained performers and members who were nearly self-taught. Vocalist is the official label. The more useful question is how that role changes once the group’s choreography, vocal blend and live stages start moving.
Fandom notes
- Specializes in hip-hop and K-pop dance
- Studying Korean since debut
- Finished PROJECT 7 inside the seven-member debut lineup.
- Debuted with CLOSE YOUR EYES in April 2025 through the mini album ETERNALT.
Formation and debut
Sakurada Kenshin finished PROJECT 7 in second place and became one of the seven members selected for CLOSE YOUR EYES. That origin matters because his early public identity was built through evaluated stages before it shifted into a permanent team role. CLOSE YOUR EYES officially debuted on April 2, 2025 with the mini album ETERNALT. The debut connected the survival-show audience to a new catalog, fixed choreography and a group vocal structure in which Kenshin could develop as both a vocalist and rapper.
Performance identity
Kenshin is especially associated with dance and stage-centered material, including his center position in the PROJECT 7 signal song. In the group, that visibility works alongside his vocal and rap assignments rather than as a separate solo career. CVM Sekai therefore classifies this canonical profile as a current group member, not as an Artist profile. If he later releases formally credited solo music, the same page can gain the Artist classification without creating a duplicate person.
